Uhm, I'm pretty sure NetworkManager lets any user modify networking
settings as long as they are in a certain group?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager#Set_up_PolicyKit_permissions
At least that's how it is on postmarketOS and I'm also fairly certain I
never needed root access to set up WiFi under Guix either, but I don't
have a system at hand to verify that on.
